1-5 Heated Front Seats (Option)
The controls for the heated
front seats are located next
to the climate controls on
either side of the center
console. Turning the driver
or passenger side control
counterclockwise from the
off position activates the
heated seat.
The control can be adjusted to one of five heat settings,
numbered 1 through 5, with 1 being the lowest setting
and 5 being the highest setting.An indicator light in the control reminds you that the
heating system is in use. The heated seats can only be
used when the ignition is turned on.
To turn the heated seat off, turn the control clockwise to
the off position.
Reclining Front Seatbacks

located on the outboard
side of each front seatback.
Press the control forward
or rearward to adjust
the seatback.

Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when
your vehicle's ignition is on. If the outside temperature
display begins to flash, this means that icy road
conditions are possible. Adjust your driving if needed.
The display will flash for about 30 seconds and then
remain on steady.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The climate control system will
stay in the selected ECC mode until the MODE button is
pressed again or until the TEMP/AUTO knob is pressed.
Press the up or down arrow to see the available modes.
English/Metric Display
You can change the temperature display from English
(degrees Fahrenheit) to metric (degrees Celsius) by
pressing and holding the driver's side TEMP/AUTO
knob for approximately five seconds. Repeat the
process to change back to English from metric.Automatic Operation
Pressing the driver's side TEMP/AUTO knob sets the
system for automatic operation. Once the system is set,
sensors will control the air delivery mode. Air will come
from the floor, middle, side or windshield outlets. The
fan speed will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting. (All previous manually set mode
settings will change back to a fully automatic mode
when the climate control system is turned on this way.)
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75
F (24
C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate air temperature. Adjust the temperature if
necessary. If you choose 60
F (16
C), the system
will remain at that maximum cooling setting and will
not regulate fan speed. If you choose the temperature of
90
F (32
C), the system will remain at that maximum
heating setting and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing
either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat
or cool any faster.

DEFROST: Press this button to quickly remove
fog or frost from the windshield (the blower works in
high
-speed). This setting sends most of the airflow to the
windshield with only a small amount to the floor outlets.
FAN SPEEDS: Press the driver's side
TEMP/AUTO knob to set the fan speed for AUTO.
At this setting, the fan speed is automatically controlled.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the
maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks
the temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm
enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is
warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase
to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing
into the passenger compartment. If you want the blower
fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button until you
reach the highest position of the display. If you want the
blower fan at a low speed, press the down arrow button
until the lowest position is displayed.
ON/OFF: Press this button to turn the system off.
Press this button again to turn the system back on.
Turning the climate control system on in this way
will recall all previous manually set mode settings. If the system is turned on by pushing the driver's
TEMP/AUTO knob for automatic operation, all of the
previous manually set mode settings will be changed
back to the fully automatic mode.
AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on
and off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle. In the automatic operation mode,
the display will show AC OFF when the air conditioning
has been turned off.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
to limit odors entering your vehicle. In the automatic
operation mode, the system will use recirculation as
necessary to cool the air. Pressing the recirculation
button will change the operation to a manual mode
and the air will recirculate non
-stop. Press this button
again to turn off the recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.
